Struggle to build a country in the world of pirates

After Lei Luo and Fokker took a shower and changed their clothes, they went to the restaurant on the third floor. The restaurants were of different types, including buffet, banquet, Chinese retro, and European-style long tables. Everyone looked at it and felt it was so novel. ; Lei Luo and the others chose the Chinese style. The venue was majestic, with four spacious rows of seats on both sides. The top table was the main table of the royal family, and there were two deputy tables for ministers on the left and right sides below.

There were more than a hundred people in the southern voyage team this time. There were not many people in the venue at all, only a quarter of them were seated. The cadres attending the banquet include:

The old king still gave a speech first, and then toasted to the traveling soldiers one by one.

Then the dance team formed by the royal palace dance instructors performed dances for everyone. Chris also performed a show and sang a song for everyone! [Don't talk about the childish voice, it's not bad, the voice is sweet and the singing is far-reaching, and it won a lot of applause], so everyone also started making noises and asked Lei Luo to perform a show.

Lei Luo expressed embarrassment and said: "I'm not good at acting. I'm very suitable for watching performances. Any of you can show off your talents." No one responded.

Lei Luo continued: "There are no more performances, and the formal banquet is about to end. Now I will take you to the self-organized restaurant, and we will continue to have the banquet. There, it is not a formal occasion, you can eat, drink and laugh as much as you like. "

The people below shouted: "Long live your highness!", "Long live your highness!"

~~~~~~~~~~The next day~~~~~~~~~~

Lei Luo did not return to the palace and slept in the guest room of the villa. After getting up, he felt a little dizzy and his mouth was dry. He said: "Meiya". When he saw that Meiya was not in the room, he stood up and fell down at the table. A glass of water, drink it. Meiya opened the door and came in: "Your Highness, you're awake!"

Lei Luo: "Well, I can't remember what happened after yesterday. How did you come back?"

Meiya: "Your Highness, you were so drunk that you fell asleep in a daze. Then I took you back to the guest room."

Lei Luo: "Where are the others?" Meiya: "The king and ministers have gone back. Some of the others slept in the guest rooms, and some drank very late and fell asleep directly in the restaurant."

Lei Luo: "We are also going back to the palace. I am so tired from having a banquet. I feel so tired! By the way!, inform everyone of the meeting tomorrow. In addition, inform the manager of the villa that he should ask the Minister of Finance for the funds for these three days. This is a national Don’t always ask me to pay for banquets.”

~~~~~~~~~~~The third day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The old king, Lei Luo, and other ministers and cadres were meeting in the conference room.

Minister on the left - Gail Bulwer

Right Chancellor - Helen Maud

Minister of Household Affairs - Ives Billy

Minister of Human Resources—Gene Tuttle

Minister of Punishments-Kama Antony

Minister of Works - York Gibson

Finance Minister - Lynne Henry

The Minister of Commerce, Newman Falk, and Morgan and Dora were also present.

Lei Luo: "This is a small meeting. With the return of Minister Nan from his trip, he also explored the situation of many uninhabited islands and beast islands. Now, I would like to ask Minister Fokker to give a summary."

Fokker stood up and saluted, and then said to everyone: "On this trip, we explored a total of 13 uninhabited islands. Among them, we mainly discovered a silver mine, and another island with flat terrain that can grow food on a large scale. These islands have The vegetation is okay, and there is fresh water on 5 of the islands.”

Lei Luo: "What do you think about the development of the south?"

Minister of Household Affairs - Ives Billy: "Now it is mainly the domestic labor force, which is obviously insufficient. With sufficient food and the foreign population attracted this year, the current population is only 8."

Lei Luo: "This is a problem you have to solve. To encourage eugenics and eugenics, the state must provide appropriate subsidy policies; we must also show enthusiasm for the immigrant population, help them settle down and work here, and continue to Promote our country. You and Minister Zuo, you two will make a plan later."

Two people: "Yes"

Finance Minister--Lynn Henry: "Recently, the country has more money-making projects and more places to spend money. Now the country owes a lot."

Lei Luo: "I understand your difficulty. How is the output of the gold mine now?"

Finance Minister Henry: "After the gold mine improved its equipment, its output has increased significantly. It is expected to achieve a net profit of 10 billion beli this year, which is doubled from before."

Lei Luo: "Currently, our country's subjects are used for mining. How much money would be saved if it were replaced by other free labor."

Finance Minister Henry said excitedly: "If there is no expenditure on manpower, it can be said that this is a hugely profitable business, which can net a net profit of 20 billion Baileys a year."

Lei Luo: "Next step, we need to free the people from heavy manual labor. The mining work will be handed over to the pirates and some criminals captured outside as a place of punishment."

Lei Luo said to the Minister of Punishment, Kama Anthony: "The Ministry of Punishment takes it into consideration when assigning penalties and allows criminals to work inside. If they perform well, their sentences can be reduced and they can be released early."

Lei Luo continued: "In addition, the ones who supervise the miners now are the palace guards. My father and I discussed it and prepared to withdraw the guards. After all, it has been converted into a prison, so it should be supervised by the Ministry of Punishment. As for the candidates, they will be retired. Just make up the soldiers and guards."

"In order to prevent people from watching and stealing, personnel from the Ministry of Household Affairs will do statistics, and personnel from the Ministry of Personnel will do supervision. In this way, there won't be too big a problem when people from the three parties work together."

Three people: "Yes"

Minister of Personnel - Gene Tuttle: "There is now a selection process in place, as well as private selection and examination processes, but the main problem is still the lack of people, and there is a shortage of people in all departments."

Lei Luo: "Well, it is true that the territory is large, there are many industries, and the population is small. It is difficult to handle, so the overall situation in the next step is to plunder the population."

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise [This is about to start robbing again, robbing the territory and robbing the population]

Lei Luo: "Don't look at me like that. When I say robbery, of course I don't mean it like a pirate."

Lei Luo: "Minister of Commerce South, I have to make a hard trip for you next." Minister Falk: "Your Highness, please tell me that my subordinates will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Lei Luo: "The Minister of the East has gone to visit other countries, and it's time to visit the south. Next, prepare to form a large commercial fleet and go to the south to make money. If anyone wants to come to our country for development, one person can get 10 Bailey settlement allowance. Provide jobs, accommodation.”

Minister Falk: "This is a good idea. Instead of them taking the risk of going to sea, it is safer to follow us."

Lei Luo: "In addition, if there are merchant ships from other countries and you want to go sailing with them, you can remember their origins and pay a part of the protection fee."

Minister Falk: "Isn't this bad? After all, there is freedom of navigation on the sea. With such a large fleet, even if it follows us, the pirates will not have any ideas."

Lei Luo nodded [think about it, who doesn't like to mess around] and said: "You make the decision on the details. You have experience in this area."

The meeting continued until very late~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
